"Trump administration policies that scaled back federal support for clean energy have led to the cancellation or delay of $83 billion in investment across hundreds of projects, according to a report released on Tuesday by labor and environmental coalition BlueGreen Alliance.
The report was unveiled as labor leaders met with Senate Democrats on Tuesday to discuss the clean energy workforce.
The analysis found that 223 manufacturing and clean energy projects representing $82.9 billion in investment and 111,765 jobs have stalled or been cancelled during President Donald Trump's second presidency.
"Every time another infrastructure project is delayed, canceled, or made the subject of political fights, no matter the party, it's working people who pay the price," Brent Booker, general president of the Laborers' International Union of North America, told senators during the meeting. "These decisions are not just about energy policy; they're about jobs, paychecks, pension credits, and whether the middle class has the opportunity to build America's future.""
